"For example, I once saw a magpie, upside down on the floor with its legs in the air. "

That sounds like it is useful for training flying skills.

"Perhaps ground fighting is a useful skill"

If you are chased by birds of prey, I guess any advantage you have in flying is useful. When birds chase them through thick forests, they do have to fly upside down some of the time.

But very likely the bird does not think, "oh I need to train". No, they just have fun doing it. Like kids have fun wrestling. "Fun" is the motivator to do the right thing evolution wise. Our human problem with "fun" is just that we have other metrics for sucess, that are not that fun anymore.
That's the reason I use a single-speed bike (not to be confused with a "fixie") for commuting. I absolutely love the simplicity of it: no gears to muck around with, much less maintenance, light, and hassle-free. Perfect to deal with the "frequently stop and start" biking in a city.

In a (flat) city for commuting short distances, you simply don't need gears if you're below 50. It's a nice to have.

It also helps that I live in the "Low Lands" (Flanders, Belgium), so no hills around here, and it's a bicycle-first city.

It's in part because Europe applied sensible regulation to standardize EV charging. This standardization drives investment and deployment because everyone can build to the same standard and have all brands of charger, all brands of charging network work with all brands of EV.

I got into bikes after moving to a cyclists' town. I know the pride of riding something you've fixed up like the author mentioned in the article. Bikes are truly a marvel. My town and bikes have provided me with a higher standard of living and health than I would have had in some other town.

Bikes are for everybody. You can ride a beat up bike for years with just basic knowledge, like changing an inner tube and oiling a chain. General and advanced bike maintenance was a mystery until YouTube came along. Now I get to pass this knowledge directly to my kids.

This was an example of how I gave a LLM clear instructions on a function that is known to the internet. If I told you get to use google you probably could solve this "leetcode" task in 10 minutes.

So I picked a random known algorithm and asked ChatGPT to write a function with it, just to test it.

I agree that leetcode is a useless metric, but nobody informed me that something simple like cubic interpolation belongs to this.category now. Maybe I should re-evaluate my career.
Why are emulators illegal? I understand that they are associated with piracy because people play pirates games on them. But it’s like banning BitTorrent because it allows you to pirate, or Windows because you can play pirates games on it as well.

The article mentions that emulators “illegally circumvent Nintendo’s technological protection measures and run illegal copies of Switch games.”. But which law makes it illegal to circumvent such systems? And what about Wii-only emulators? Surely they have nothing to do with the safety systems of the Switch.
2x sounds low. I pay 7p per kwh at home and I think my most recent fast charge was closer to 70p.
Indeed, there are no imaginable alternatives. The people who can't afford to build roads can't drive..

Suggestion, only the government is allowed to rent out homes to individuals. Many cities already have government owned homes that are rented out at 1/3rd the market price to people in need, like single parents and co. I see no reason why this couldn't work at scale.
About 3% of 60 to 64 year olds had $1M saved. Taking 4% out per year is $40k... that's not a great income.

And the demographic changes mean that future results will differ from past results.

As a middle-aged New Zealander I worry about:

(1) overinvestment in the US stock market especially as withdrawals hit in synchonicity,

(2) why bother saving? All indications here in New Zealand is that the combination of wealth taxes, capital gains taxes and means testing will take most of one's savings over time.

We can't fight demographics.

How did Tropic Haze make money if Yuzu and Citra were free. I could not find other products they sell. In consequence, how could they pay millions to Nintendo?
Yes but small landlords don’t have the money to absorb certain issues - they have just one or two properties and some of the expenses and regulations really do threaten their ability to be in this business. Should various sectors like renting only be accessible to big corporate players?
Oracle v Google determined this in my mind, the emulator is implementing an API, the API is not protected by copyright law.

Care to explain? If you just mean verified tree, git already is that.
is this a joke? no offense to you personally but this sounds like vapourware to me.
Emulators per se are not illegal. Most likely.
That's something a hosted product could do, but if you have access to the weights you just don't run the additional filtering code. Also, the filtering code would be expensive to run, if you want it to be good quality. The result of the paper is that anyone with a reasonably good computer can very quickly strip out the "protection" of the model and get it to do whatever they want, assuming you can get a weights download.

I’m kind of stuck in the worst spot between both. Maintenance is a chore, but I still prefer to DIY vs taking it to the shops near me, which are various combinations of rude, unreliable (both in terms of scheduling and quality of work), and expensive.

So I just suck it up and try to fit the work in when I can, which is almost never.

They are probably talking about a "serverless" bittorrent. Some kind of Git-over-DHT. It would require this to be accepted: http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0050.html (Decentralized Mutable Torrent)

This is a good question. In addition to an answer, if someone could give a high level but technical overview about how the Nintendo Switch encryption works and how the emulators work around it I'd be grateful.
> The only people who think things work the way you and the other commenter do are delusional right wingers.

You’re simply dismissing others’ experience, but I’m not lying to you when I say that many of us have direct experience with this. At the big tech companies this is normal practice. Also race questions are standard in the application process, even if optional, and even if you don’t answer them, internal diversity teams will guess at people’s races where they don’t have data. In hiring decision meetings, people definitely discuss protected traits as a reason to say yes. In promotion meetings, these diversity metrics are reviewed and tweaks are made based on protected traits. If you’re a junior manager you are not going to be in the room when that happens, to keep things secret.

You are right, it says it right there:

He mentions that even when we consider something intuitive it's because we have actually learned it in one way or another. Key word is 'learn'. And answer to this "unintuitive" problem is good instructions in your software, so taking users through a learning process. Not saying it's easy to do, but that's the solution.

I also agree with the comment that most people wanting to use a piece of software are very likely to have experience in the field and therefore things that aren't intuitive to a random person will be intuitive enough to them because of the domain. When we see a text box at top of a social media platform with placeholder text "what is in your mind.." we don't assume it's a note-taking app or a to-do list. We intuitively know what we put there will be published for the world to see, even though it might be the first time we are using that particular platform.

You probably know that Figma is a UX design software. This means it’s basically a graphics program: you draw shapes, you scroll and zoom around. It does that extremely well.

I’m convinced that this kind of optimization is an important part of their success.

I suppose maybe it's a city/countryside thing? Cars are great at long straights, but they take forever to safely clear an intersection compared to a bicycle -- and they block most of the road while they do.

Ask HN: How to spoof your computer real location
How would you spoof your computer real location?

This is mostly thought experiment. If there are existing tools/devices that can help with process of hiding/spoofing your real location it would be interesting to explore them too.

Assumptions:
(1) adversarial have full access to your computer (OS, bios, hardware etc) before you take it to unknown location
(2) you can take the computer anywhere you want
(3) you can connect to any network via wifi or cable
(4) you cannot remove any hardware from the computer
(5) you cannot uninstall any software from the computer
(6) you need internet access

How to pretend you connect to network somewhere else in the world?

How do you spoof gps signal, how do you spoof radio stations to look like you're in different place in the world? Is there anything else that can give you away if you hide in a room so that the camera can't give out your location?
It's pretty interesting that you choose to ignore all the other supporting evidence of aggression I provided and focus only on a narrow claim. I have confirmation bias since I obviously have a side. A side that doesn't want his children stuck in a redundant war loop like we have been.

> “Jewish students…get a second-class education where they are relegated to their homes to attend classes virtually and stripped of the opportunity to interact meaningfully with other students and faculty and sit for examinations with their peers,” the lawsuit said. “The segregation of Jewish students is a dangerous development that can quickly escalate into more severe acts of violence and discrimination.”

and:

> The lawsuit alleges that a subset of protesters has committed acts of violence, harassed Jewish students and faculty and incited hate speech and acts of violence.

There's plenty of that online.

Finally, about your point of two sides. That's absolute nonsense. One side started the demonstrations and mass agitation, the reacting side can't be blamed. This is pretty typical of this entire situation, Israel gets attacked then blamed for response, results and its defense.

Own it. People were violent and racist. Outside forces came in and manipulated students most of which are ridiculously ignorant about the situation. They were manipulated, in much of the same way as Trump voters are manipulated, to believe blatant lies.
Sure, but look at homeopathy. It's like a virus - you don't optimize for killing the user, because a dead user can't buy more meds, and also you might get sued. Instead you optimize for having as purely placebo an effect as you can. (It's also cheaper.) For that reason, I suspect the scam market is already saturated. Will some people get scammed into taking dangerous chemicals? Sure, but that's already the case cause those aren't regulated as medications.

IMO, prevent use of addictive ingredients, but beyond that inform, don't forbid.

You'd be better off nuking the rich, they are the ones who are actually producing the bulk of the CO2.

The debate on degrowth isn't whether a Somalian family should have access to a decent home, healthcare, clothing, enough food etc. The answer is a very obvious yes.

The debate is whether a middle class American family really should own 2 trucks, live in a 200sqm house and eat that much meat. But you always make it about the poor.
Yeah, that would be very soothing would it? But every prediction by every scientist I read says that even if we did wonders with that technology and it works way better than expected and is way cheaper than expected it is too little too late.

So either we change our way or we deive ourself into climate extinction. Since profits and geostrategic advantage seem to be more important than the survival of the human race it will be the latter. And someone somewhere in 2050 will start the alibi-CO2-capture machine, that was built by a tiny fraction of the oil money from this year.

If this comes across as cynical that might be, because it is. Trusting on carbon capture technology despite the presence of evidence¹ that it won't do shit is something we cannot afford. Don't get me wrong, we should still research and fund it. But you don't want to be that politician that wants to keep no speed limits on highways "because future carbon capture technology will solve this".

No, future carbon capture technology won't solve this, it will solve a tiny fraction of this. Pretending that it will do more creates false hope and a distorted perception.

¹ see IPCC report: : "Even if realized at its full potential, CCS will only account for about 2.4% of the world’s carbon mitigation by 2030"
> Our human problem with "fun" is just that we have other metrics for sucess, that are not that fun anymore.

Tesla Is Pulling Back from EV Charging, and People Are Freaking Out

What we do know is that ev sales have taken a dive

"A record 1.2 million U.S. vehicle buyers chose to go electric last year, according to estimates from Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive company. More specifically, 1,189,051 new electric vehicles (EVs) were put into service as the slow shift to an electrified future continued unabated. In 2023, the EV share of the total U.S. vehicle market was 7.6%, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. That is up from 5.9% in 2022.

EV sales in the fourth quarter set a record for both volume and share: 317,168 and 8.1%, respectively. And while records were set, the oft-reported slowdown is real. Q4 EV sales increased year over year by 40% – a strong result by any measure, except when compared to the growth the industry saw in previous quarters. The market posted a 49% gain in Q3, and EV sales were up 52% year over year in Q4 2022. By volume, EV sales in Q4 were higher than in Q3 by roughly 5,000 units. The EV market in the U.S. is still growing, but not growing as fast."
